dynamic stiffness definition in abaqus
I am working on the vibratory simulation of engin cooling system. Now i want to add the component of rubber isolators , the idea is to add the spring element ,we have tested the dynamic stiffness during ranges of 5-100HZ , but how can i put the values in abaqus ou inp files.
Thanks for your helps
How to postprocess user defined results in patran
Hello friends,
Greetings! I used Msc Patran to create a 2D mesh. Using mesh properties I solved a time-dependent partial differential equation using finite element in that domain through c code. Now,I have nodal values at different time. I would like to plot contours using those nodal values. I came to know Patran can do this. If so , can someone give some tips or guide me to an example.
Thank you.
Dislocation density based model in FEM
Dear all,
Hi
I am phd student of mechanical engineering. I am working about dislocation density based model for plastic deformation. I wanna write UMAT for describe used material behavior. Can everyone give me experiences about DD model in FEM? Please help me about writing UMAT for this issue.
Thank you,
S. Bagherzadeh
fe-safe
I'm using Abaqus in analysis of random vibration fatigue. I linked abaqus with fe-safe to calculate the fatigue life. Fe-safe didn't recognize the random load comming from Abaqus correctly, althghou it already recognize the cyclic(normal) load crrectly in one of the tutorial's attached example.
Do any body know how to solve this issue?
VUMAT
Thanks alot, you gave a big favor to me and I appreciated that.
So I have to define all tensor component individually as sate variables alike before I did and then I defien the number of state variables in DEPVAR option as well as user material constants. I have done it. Then as you told all the state variables must be shown in field output? you mean when we define state variables and update it then we can observe the SDVs at the visualization modul\odb field output or it will save in a separate file???
